Florida does not destroy cabinetry with water; it does it with vapour, patiently. Materials are chosen against the patient enemy.
What humidity actually attacks
Raw edges, open joints and hygroscopic cores. Solid-wood painted doors cycle and crack here faster than anywhere; foil doors lose edges in un-airconditioned months. Sealed six-face lacquer over stable MR-MDF removes the attack surfaces wholesale.
The AC assumption
Specs assume conditioned interiors; vacation homes left at 80°F+ and high RH for summers need dehumidification plans regardless of cabinet brand — state it in the contract, not the callback.
Detail checklist
Sealed edges (factory, not site-cut), steam-zone appliance detailing, ventilation in door-fronted appliance bays, and waterborne non-yellowing systems for whites under strong glazing. All standard in our program; all worth writing on any competitor quote you compare.
